Yes, lower orbital rim implant with soof lift over it can be helpful to reduce the protrusion of the eyeballs. See following video. See following website link. Skype consult available.

Nothing is without risk in the world of plastic surgery. Orbital decompression is usually reserved for patients with a pathalogic disorders where it is a medical necessity, so I'm glad your stearing away from it.Filling out the tissues above and below the orbit can sometimes make the globe appear less prominent. Fillers, fat grafting and implants can all add volume, but they have varying degree of risk. In my own practice I usually have patients start with reabsorbable fillers to see if they like what the outcome is. If they are happy they can maintain the filler or consider longer term options, if they are not, the fillers will go away.Your PS will have to evaluate you to go over the risks of alll these options and give you a realistic plan for what can and can not be accomplished.Best wishes.

I couldn't be sure without an in office examination, but I would think a cheek implant would amplify your eyes protrusion. Instead I might consider using filler underneath the eyes to camoflauge the degree to which your eyes appear protruding.  good luck!

Dr. Jeff Schiller in your area is an expert oculopalstic surgeon and would be a good resource for you to consult with to see your options.

The direct most effective way would be an orbital decompression, because it targets the problem. But I understand your concerns and hence a less invasive/indirect option can be considered.Enhancing the volume in the under eye area using fillers, would be a non surgical option worth considering. It may give you the result you are after All the best
